1. Configuration of a Passing Assist Device 1

[0022]A configuration of the passing assist device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The passing assist device 1 is an in-vehicle device mounted in a vehicle. Hereinafter, a vehicle equipped with the passing assist device 1 will be referred to as an own vehicle.

[0023]The passing assist device 1 includes a microcomputer that has a CPU 3 and a semiconductor memory such as RAM, ROM, or flash memory (hereinafter, referred to as a memory 5). Various functions of the passing assist device 1 are implemented by the CPU 3 executing programs stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. In this example, the memory 5 is equivalent to the non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing the programs. When any of the programs is executed, a method corresponding to the program is executed. The passing assist device 1 may include one or more microcomputers.

[0024]As functional components implemented by the CPU 3 e...

Abstract

A passing assist device includes a detection unit, a passing control unit, a speed setting unit, and a suspending unit. When the speed of an own vehicle set by the speed setting unit is lower than a preset speed when the own vehicle is traveling in a passing lane, the suspending unit suspends a lane change from the passing lane to a traveling lane by the passing control unit.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT / JP2017 / 003781 filed Feb. 2, 2017 which designated the U.S. and claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-18113 filed Feb. 2, 2016, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to a passing assist device.BACKGROUND ART[0003]PTL 1 listed below discloses a traveling assist device that assists in changing lanes. The traveling assist device sets a vehicle traveling track for changing a lane to an adjacent lane. The traveling assist device then changes the lane by controlling a steering mechanism based on the set traveling track.CITATION LISTPatent Literature[0004][PTL 1] JP 2008-94111 ASUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]There is a possible passing assist device as described below. While an own vehicle with a passing assist device is traveling in a traveling lane, when another vehicle ...
